I think a large part of our hackers, certainly of new ones, might have more experience of Java than C++. They might think that C++ is more like Java, and that the throw clauses are crucial to be exactly right (for some value of "right"), and then waste time. (Or am I completely confuse?)
Somewhat confused, I'd say. At least if we would utilize standards-compliant compiler environments, exception specifications need to be exactly right, same as in Java. (Though without Java's feature of having this statically checked by the compiler.)
And then there are the hackers (like me) who don't bother to wonder about it, and pay no attention to whether some function claims to potentially throw something or not, and just copy boilerplate as they think necessary when applicable.
This attitude scares me, btw. Stephan _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
